Assisted Driving Tech in Focus After Fatal Electric Car Crash in China
1、閱讀全文
【1】China’s Xiaomi, a consumer electronics giant turned automaker, said it is cooperating with a police investigation into a fatal crash involving one of its electric vehicles while the driver was using the car’s autonomous driving features.
【2】A Xiaomi SU7 sedan drove into a concrete guardrail on an expressway in eastern China late on Saturday night at around 60 miles per hour, according to a post on Xiaomi’s official social media account. On Tuesday, local media published reports about the collision and ensuing fire, which killed three college students, along with pictures of the charred remains of the vehicle.
【3】Xiaomi said the driver deployed the company’s Navigate On Autopilot, an assisted driving feature, while going around 70 miles per hour on the expressway. Seconds before the collision, the car warned that there were obstacles ahead and started to decelerate but it was too late. The company said it called the police and emergency services.
【4】The fatal crash took place one year after the launch of Xiaomi’s SU7 electric vehicle, marking a major shift for a company that had gained a cultlike following for its smartphones and home appliances. And the SU7, which bears a resemblance to the Porsche Taycan at a fraction of the price, has been a breakthrough success in China’s cutthroat electric vehicle market. It sold more than 200,000 units in its first year.
【5】The ability of a company with no automotive experience to build and sell a car capable of gaining market share so quickly is a testament to the advantages of China’s supply chain of batteries and key components for electric vehicles. It is also a warning to the automotive industry that the competition is no longer limited to traditional car brands, but to almost any company adept at manufacturing electronic products efficiently and inexpensively.
【6】Xiaomi’s stock has fallen nearly 9 percent on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange this week. Last week, the company raised about $5.5 billion by selling new shares to fund an expansion in the electric vehicle business.
【7】China has aggressively promoted assisted driving or driverless technology in a bid to establish global leadership in the emerging field. Many Chinese makers of electric vehicles include these advanced features on their mass-production cars. When there are fatal accidents involving the technology, information about the crashes is quietly removed from the Chinese internet.
【8】Xiaomi promotes its assisted driving capabilities on the company’s official website. It says that the car can automatically accelerate or decelerate, change lanes, enter and exit a highway and avoid construction. However, it cautions that these “intelligent assisted driving” features cannot “completely replace” a driver controlling the vehicle.
【9】Xiaomi said the car involved in the crash was a standard model of its SU7. That model is not equipped with mounted laser-based sensors known as lidar, an acronym for light detection and ranging systems.
【10】Wang Yinglai, an automobile expert at the Zhejiang Consumer Council, told state-run media that a car driving on the highway would have more difficulty detecting stationary or slow-moving objects in front without that laser-based sensor.
【11】On the Chinese social media service Weibo, a woman with the surname Wang who the platform verified as the mother of one of the victims, said Xiaomi has not contacted the family since the tragedy.
【12】“My home has collapsed after my daughter’s accident,” Ms. Wang wrote. “We just want an explanation.”
【13】 China’s Southern Metropolis Daily, a newspaper run by the ruling Communist Party, reported that a father of one of the other victims said his daughter and a classmate burned to death in the crash. He, too, said the company had not contacted him.

對答案
1.【答案】B
【考查點】細節事實題。
【解題思路】根據題干關鍵詞the driver 和Xiaomi SU7 sedan crashed定位到文章第一段China’s Xiaomi, a consumer electronics giant turned automaker, said it is cooperating with a police investigation into a fatal crash involving one of its electric vehicles while the driver was using the car’s autonomous driving features.（中國消費電子巨頭轉型汽車制造商的小米公司表示，其正在配合警方對一起涉及其電動汽車的致命車禍展開調查，事發時司機正在使用該車的自動駕駛功能。）可知，事故發生時司機正在使用該車的自動駕駛功能，故選項B正確。選項A、C、D在文中均未提及，故排除。
2.【答案】C
【考查點】細節事實題。
【解題思路】根據題干關鍵詞market和in its first year定位到文章第四段最后一句“It sold more than 200,000 units in its first year.”（該車上市第一年銷量就超過20萬輛。）可知，選項C正確。選項A、B、D均與文章所述內容不符，故排除。
3.【答案】C
【考查點】主旨大意題。
【解題思路】文章標題就提到了Assisted Driving Tech in Focus After Fatal Electric Car Crash in China（中國一起致命電動車車禍后，輔助駕駛技術成為焦點），接著圍繞小米電動車在開啟輔助駕駛功能時發生致命車禍這一事件展開，詳細描述了事故過程、小米公司的回應、小米車輛市場的表現、行業影響等內容。由此可知，文章中心內容是涉及小米輔助駕駛技術的一起致命電動車車禍，故選項C正確。選項A、B、D均不是文章的主要內容，故排除。
